More Premier League action continues on Monday with some action at St. James’ Park.
Here is what went down.
Newcastle v West Ham
Scorer: Soucek 10′
It’s a mid-table clash as Newcastle host West Ham in front of a rocking crowd.
The game got off to a flying start when Alexander Isak’s chip was ruled offside by VAR after roughly five minutes, but then the deadlock actually broke after 10.
The Hammers were one of the only teams in the Premier League yet to score from a corner this season. In contrast, Newcastle hadn’t conceded from one.
That was until Tomas Soucek was left unmarked in the middle of the box and thumped the ball home beyond Nick Pope with his side’s first effort on target.
Momentum swung in favour of the hosts, with a handful of Magpies testing the visiting defence.
Anthony Gordon was denied by Lukasz Fabianski and Joe Willock had an effort blocked while Joelinton and Lewis Hall saw their efforts fall short.
Isak later missed an open net as things remained in favour of West Ham at the break.
